Bring your 3rd Gen 4Runner into a more modern era with a clean, aggressive TRD-style grille designed specifically for 1996–2002 models.
This is one of those upgrades that instantly changes how your truck looks — giving it a stronger, more purposeful front-end without going over the top.
A Simple Upgrade That Makes a Big Difference
Whether you’re restoring a clean daily or building out an off-road rig, the factory grille is one of the first things that starts to feel dated.
This TRD-inspired design replaces that look with something sharper, wider, and more in line with newer Toyota styling — while still fitting the character of the 3rd Gen perfectly.
